This forum is now a read-only archive. All commenting, posting, registration services have been turned off. Those needing community support and/or wanting to ask questions should refer to the Tag/Forum map, and to http://spring.io/questions for a curated list of stackoverflow tags that Pivotal engineers, and the community, monitor.

I guess there are, but these things are pretty clever. One of the ones recently actually made sensible comments, but had an advert URL at the bottom. So the post would read "I'm having the same problem to, can you help.", or "I can't find the information in the manual either". Only reason I noticed was that it kept posting similar comments quite randomly.

Sorry about the spam guys. I've been quite busy and haven't been on the forum since 1 Jan which I think is the longest time I can remember. ColinS, the forum admin has been also doing a lot of traveling and the spammers seemed to have taken advantage of that.
I've deleted the spam and soon the users will be deleted also.
All I can say is that we are working on a solution to greatly improve (IMO) the forums. I'd like to be a surprise and I hope/think that in 1 month or so you'll see the results for yourself.
If there is any spam left, just report it again as I'll be watching.

We'll keep reporting ofcourse just as we keep filling the Springs JIRA tracker. Improve the forums, sounds great, I hope this doesn't mean we need to start with a new forum. The old posts will remain I hope?
